Sage™ has a menu-based approach to cfDNA screening, where upon consultation with the pregnant mother, the healthcare professional can select which chromosome disorders to screen for and customise it for each patient depending on their background, maternal history and wishes

Autosomal aneuploidies

The Sage™ prenatal screen estimates the risk of a fetus having Down’s syndrome Trisomy 21), Edwards’ syndrome (Trisomy 18) and Patau’s syndrome (Trisomy 13). The accuracy is >99% for the detection of fetal chromosome aneuploidy. In addition, a genome-wide aneuploidy detection analysis on the remaining chromosomes can be carried out and reported.
